What are essential amino acids (EAA)? Amino acids are organic molecules which, when joined together, form proteins. There are 20 amino acids which contribute to the formation of proteins and which are fundamental to the functioning of our body, to which 3 have only recently been discovered. Of these 23, 8 are defined as essential. The term essential amino acids means those amino acids that the body is unable to synthesize by itself. Then they must be introduced with food.

What are the essential amino acids? There are 8 essential amino acids (EAA essential amino acids) and specifically: Lysine: present above all in milk, soy, beef, it is used for the formation of carnitine and vitamin B3. For athletes it is able to speed up post-workout recovery. Tryptophan: found in milk and dairy products, eggs, legumes, meat and fish. It is an important amino acid in protein synthesis and serotonin synthesis. Phenylalanine: found in meat, fish, eggs and brown rice. It is involved in many metabolic processes and participates in the formation of thyroid hormones. Threonine: Found in corn, soy, eggs, mushrooms, cod, pork, lamb, rabbit and veal.

It is a constituent of antibodies and therefore plays a fundamental role in maintaining the immune system. Methionine: present in dairy products, egg whites, cod and soy proteins. Methionine is the basis for the production of carnitine and cysteine, as well as creatine, taurine, vitamin B12. Leucine: Milk, corn, chicken and eggs are the main sources of this amino acid. It plays an important role at the muscle level. Isoleucine: found mainly in corn, potatoes, chicken, eggs, peanuts, bresaola, lamb. It is closely linked to glucose requirements. Valine: egg white powder, soy proteins, Spirulina algae, dairy products and dairy products are rich in it. It plays important roles especially in tissue reconstruction. For subjects in the growth phase, a ninth amino acid is also included as essential: histidine.

What are essential amino acid supplements for? When nutrition alone is not enough or when the quantity of some foods decreases, supplements are very valid aids to meet the need for amino acids. There are several on the market, with different combinations of amino acids, with single amino acids or even exclusively with combinations of branched chain amino acids, ideal for sportsmen. If you are looking for a supplement that contains all amino acids, Essential AMINO allows you to achieve this goal because it not only contains them all, but provides them in their ideal ratio.

What are the benefits of Essential AMINO? Our Essential AMINO is: A product made up of amino acids from vegetable fermentation. Contains all 8 essential amino acids in an optimal ratio to maximize bioavailability and minimize nitrogenous waste. It also has the amino acid l-histidine. The ratio of l-leucine, l-isoleucine, l-valine is 4:1:1. Therefore greater presence of l-leucine. An essential amino acid for protein synthesis Essential AMINO is produced in Italy. Like all Yamamoto® brand products: Made in Italy quality.
